"Busiest street at Midnight"

North Main street is still very busy as compared to South Main. Many commuters from the downtown Royal Oak area use this street to travel to their destinations, or to just find a diner to relax in. With as many bars as there are, it can get very loud, especially after midnight. If you have kids, this is probably not the street for you.

I've stayed in this area, and over-all I have liked it. I don't think I would considering moving here because of the noise and traffic issues. Expect to pay much higher rent on Main street based on location and the fact that Urbane Inc. is buying all the smaller apartment complexes and "fixing them up," which means putting some steel on the outside of the building and raising rent.

A close friend of mine had this happen to him. He reacted by buying a home in Ferndale! Take that, Urbane!
